Yvonne Warren’s interest in fashion started at an early age. She loves mixing various kinds of old and new media to create wearable art using scraps of fabrics, threads, tee-shirts, remnants, paints, and beads. Yvonne mixes and matches fabrics, textures, and color in all her pieces. She designs handbags, scarves and wearable art made from upcycled and repurposed materials. She puts fibers and colors together to create unique pieces perfect for the modern bohemian woman.
What makes her art different is that she uses materials, upcycled and/or recycled that were once something else. She is a big supporter of non-profit creative re-use organizations whose main mission is to recycle and keep materials and fabrics out of the already crowded land fill.
Everything she designs is one of a kind and eco conscious. Her fiber art mixes her love of her heritage and obsession with ethnic fabrics and gems. She designs pieces for beauty, function and for people who dare to be different. Yvonne’s work may also appear at local artist fairs in the Sacramento area.
She has her own art studio shop, Jewels & Fiber, in Sacramento where she teaches a variety of mixed media classes. She offers the community a trendy art and craft studio where professional women can come to relax and feed their need for creative self-expression.
